Attacks on shipping in Lough Foyle (1981–82)
The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) carried out two bomb attacks against British coal ships in February 1981 and February 1982 at Lough Foyle, a large inlet between County Londonderry in Northern Ireland and County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. Both vessels were sunk, but their crews reached the coastline safely in lifeboats.
==Early attacks on shipping==
There had been a number of attacks on small vessels by the IRA before 1981. On April 1971, a Royal Navy survey launch was blown up at the port of Baltimore, in the Republic of Ireland. The boat, the ''Stork'', was towed out to sea and destroyed by an explosive device before dawn, while the crew was ashore.〔(The Sydney Morning Herald - 22 Abr 1971 )〕 Another British boat, the ''Puffin'', received minor damaged in the same action.〔(Parliamentary Debate - 28 April 1971 )〕 Both launches were attached to HMS'' Hecate''.〔(Parliamentary Debate - 26 April 1971 )〕
Between February and October 1972 the Provisional IRA carried out two bombings against sand barges at Lough Neagh. Two IRA members were killed by the premature explosion of one of the devices, while two of the barges were sunk in a second incident, with a loss of £80,000.〔Ardoyne Commemoration Project: ''Ardoyne: the untold truth.'' Beyond the Pale, 2002, page 104. ISBN 1-900960-17-6〕〔Deutsch, Richard and Magowan, Vivian: ''Northern Ireland, 1968-73: 1968-74, a Chronology of Events.'' Blackstaff Press, 1973, page 231〕 These barges were probably the ''Lough Neagh'' and the ''Ballyginniff''.〔(Heritage Boat Association: Lough Neagh - Sand Barges - Various )〕
The killing of Lord Mountbatten and three others at Mullaghmore, County Sligo, took place when they were on board Mountbatten's fishing boat, the ''Shadow V'', on August 27, 1979.〔(IRA bombs kill Mountbatten and 17 soldiers ) The Guardian, 28 August 1979〕
